SE you put a really bad taste in my mouth every single patch

Are those items you mentioned to be in the cash shop counted towards the achievement?

It's a personal achievement, just like getting all your BiS gear is a personal achievement.

Where and when was this?

I am not sure if you read but I ll leave it here. You are asking for info more than 2 years old, which cannot be find anymore (or maybe you can from other site but unlikely)

Yoichi Wada stated prior to XIV 1.0's release they were going to incorporate microtransactions into FFXIV.

So it's not gating any real progression or achievement. Made it sounds like the cash shop is gating everyone from a game feature achievement.

They kinda already do that with property tax increases.

Property tax increases have nothing at all to do with your bank, and unless you have a seriously shady lender or loan, should be covered by your impound account.

The more you know~

There should be some record of it somewhere, in case you are unaware of how the internet works. And if it can't be found there is probably a very good reason for that.

So, just because it doesn't give you some points in an arbitrary list of "achievements" it suddenly isn't a real achievement?

Silence can speak louder than a thousand words. Or characters, in this case.
If people spend all their time complaining, it becomes white noise. If people actually follow through and quit or do SOMETHING other than complain, then it says something. Nothing will change as long as the company responsible for a game believes your words are empty. Look at EVE. The players literally could not afford to quit, but when their company decided to make changes they didn't like, they did more than complain about it on forums. They actually DID something.
And there are a lot of options for gaming if you're willing to accept the reality that you will NOT escape microtransactions if you want to play something that's online. The sooner you accept it, the sooner you can have fun again.
Or quit. That's always an option.

What exactly are you referencing regarding Eve? I'm curious to do more reading on this event in particular if any news sites ran a story about it.

It's not gating any game content or feature.

I guess Square can sell coil lockout removals as an "optional" service because, hey, it's in the TOS. And we can't complain because we agreed to it.

How at all did my post elude to people being locked from an achievement? I clearly stated that people play the game for that content, only saying that there are gearsets that exist for achievements. That was merely to validate a point that it is content for players.

to simplify, People like collecting full sets of gear for the look. They want to take advantage of the glamour system. Now to take full advantage of that system, I need to pay extra. That could be someones sole reason for playing this game and now they are forced to pay for the full experience.

Make sense?

you can go ahead and find it, I am not good to find stuff or google thing, I cannot even find the old picture of how airship look in game to show to other ppl either (had been show back in 1.0)
